Choose an arena by its actual layout
The Aud contains Dom Cardillo, Kinsmen and Kiwanis arenas at the same address, but their surfaces, seating and event capabilities differ. Keeping separate sections prevents a visitor from assuming every entrance or pad is the same booking.
Activa and Sportsworld each contain two surfaces. Don McLaren, Grand River and Lions have other listed playing surfaces. Queensmount no longer has ice; it remains a 15,000-square-foot rentable indoor space. The complete indoor list below excludes the page’s separately described outdoor rink, baseball field and other outdoor amenities.

Capacity and rental planning
An arena’s event capacity depends on its configuration. Dom Cardillo lists different hockey, basketball and concert arrangements; a standing-floor event is not the same layout as a seated event. Kinsmen lists 1,607 seats plus 66 standing spaces, while Kiwanis lists no seating.
Contact arena staff at 519-741-2699 about the precise pad, seating plan and event requirements. A facility listed on the venue page is not a live availability calendar. Ice requests use ActiveNet and staff approval, covered in the separate booking guide.
